A Nazi Knocks on Your Door. Do You Tell the Truth? Ep 200
Is it ever okay for a Christian to lie? If a Nazi officer knocks on your door asking about the family hiding in your house, what do you say? James picked this one after a Christian book club insisted every lie is a sin, no exceptions. We dig into Rahab, the Hebrew midwives, Michal helping David escape, and what the ninth commandment actually says. This isn't a license to deceive for your own gain. That's always sin. But God's law was never meant to be a weapon in the hands of evildoers. Where do you land? Drop your thoughts in the comments and we may read them on a future Monday episode.

Some Christians Lose Their Faith When Prayers Go Unanswered. Here's the Piece They're Missing. Ep 199
Have you ever prayed with everything in you, believed without a doubt, and then watched the answer go the other way? I've walked alongside people whose faith fell apart in that exact moment, and I think it's because we've been handed a definition of faith the Bible never actually gave us. In this episode we go straight to Scripture. To Abraham. To Mary at the foot of the cross. To three young men in front of a blazing furnace who said, "but even if he does not." True faith was never deciding what God should do and believing hard enough to make it happen. It's trusting who He is when you can't see what He's doing. Grab your Bible and pull up a chair. This one might change the way you pray.

Your Kids Trust AI Completely. That Should Terrify You. Ep 198
Is AI actually making us smarter, or is it quietly making us dumber? That's the question I couldn't shake this week. We've handed our kids machines that answer every question instantly, and we call them smart for knowing how to use them. But if a computer remembers, calculates, writes, and thinks for you, what happens to your own mind? Are we outsourcing the very struggle God designed to grow wisdom in us? Here's the danger: AI doesn't just get things wrong. It gets them spectacularly wrong while sounding absolutely certain. And if you don't know the truth for yourself, you'll never catch it. In this episode I make the case that critical thinking just became a survival skill, then James joins me to react to some clips you won't want to miss, ending with one of the most powerful testimonies of a changed life I've ever heard. Test everything. Hold fast to what is good. And don't rely on a machine to do your thinking for you.

Is Kathryn Krick a Real Apostle? Don't Believe Everything You See. Ep 197
Is Kathryn Krick a real apostle of God, or is she deceiving millions? That's the question my son James dropped in my lap, and I could not look away. He pulled together her whole story, from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to the viral "deliverance" videos casting out demons in front of hundreds of millions of views, and we sat down to work through all of it together. Here's what I keep coming back to. The hurting people in those videos are not the enemy. They're broken, they're searching, and someone is handing them a false hope wrapped up in the name of Jesus. That's the part that breaks my heart. So in this episode I walk you through the five-point discernment test I use to tell the real thing from a counterfeit, straight out of Scripture. Because false prophets are everywhere, and Jesus told us plainly that we would know them by their fruit.

Stop Trying to Pay God Back. That Was Never the Plan. Ep 196
If Jesus already did everything necessary to save you, why bother trying to be good anymore? Why fight sin so hard? Why forgive the person who hurt you? Why do the right thing when nobody's watching? Here's the beautiful answer. We don't obey God so that he will save us. We obey him because he already has. In this devotional I open up Romans 6, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the difference between Jesus dying for us and Jesus living for us, the perfect life you and I never could. Grace comes first, gratitude follows, and our good works are simply that gratitude made visible.

Dolly Parton Has Died. Here's the Story Behind "I Will Always Love You" That Most People Never Heard Ep 195
The Queen of country music is gone. Dolly Parton passed away at 80, and I couldn't let the week end without honoring her, because her life holds a lesson every artist and dreamer needs to hear. Most people know "I Will Always Love You" as a love song, but Dolly wrote it as a goodbye to the man who gave her one of her biggest breaks. When Elvis later came calling and his manager demanded half the publishing rights, she said no. It broke her heart, but she wouldn't surrender what God had given her, and years later Whitney Houston turned that same song into one of the greatest vocal performances in history. Dirt poor in the Smoky Mountains, nearly 60 years married to one man, faithful to the end. Her story is a powerful reminder to steward the gift He's placed in your hands. Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.

Your Kids Are Being Sold a Lie About Communism. Here's How to Reach Them. Ep 194
Something strange is happening in America. I'm actually starting to agree with Bill Maher. Communism gave the world bread lines, gulags, and the deaths of millions, and yet it's becoming attractive to young people all over again. Before we roll our eyes and say these kids just don't know history, I want to ask a better question: why are they still reaching for it? In this episode I dig into what young people are really longing for, why the promises of socialism sound so compassionate, and why Christianity offers something far better than either greedy capitalism or government confiscation. Here's the heart of it: communism tries to build a better society by redistributing possessions, but God builds a better people by transforming hearts. Nobody has to seize a Christian's property to make him generous. I'll leave you with one action step to try with a young person in your life this week. Give it a listen, and God bless you.

A Christian's Honest Look at Death, Fear, and What Comes Next Ep 193
If I'm honest with you, I don't want to die. I love this life. My wife, my kids, my work, that first cup of coffee and the sound of my rooster in the backyard. And yet I know there's a day on God's calendar with my name on it. Death has been on my heart lately. Losing people close to me has a way of bringing it into focus, and it drove me back to my Bible with a hard question: how should a Christian actually think about death? What I found may have been the thing I had wrong my whole life. Thanks for letting me share this one. Subscribe, and drop your question in the comments for a future show. God bless you.

Hayden Panettiere Died at 36. Here's the Real Killer Behind These Tragedies. Ep 192
When I heard that Hayden Panettiere died at just 36, it stopped me in my tracks. I grew up in that same world, and I watched too many of my own friends get crushed by it. Corey Haim. River Phoenix. Andrew Koenig, who played my best friend Boner on Growing Pains. Different people, different families, but the same devastating pattern. In this episode I want to talk about what I believe is really behind so many of these tragedies: the loss of childhood, and why protecting it may matter more than almost anything else.

$1.8 Trillion in Debt. Is a College Degree Even Worth It Anymore? Ep 191
Is college still worth it? That question would've sounded crazy to my parents and grandparents, who were all educators. And back in 1970, a degree really was the golden ticket. But the world has changed. This week James and I sit down for another dangerous conversation about the numbers that stopped us both cold, the lie young people are being sold, and why so many of the most successful folks never finished college.

Will You Even Recognize Yourself in Heaven? Ep 190
What kind of body will you have in heaven? Will you eat, feel gravity, break a bone, or just float around like Casper the Friendly Ghost? In this devotional I turn to 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul answers with an acorn. You bury a little seed and up comes an oak tree, and that's you and the body God has waiting for you. This one belongs to the dust, but what's coming is an upgrade you can never lose. So don't cling to what God never meant to last forever. Take care of the body you've got, then get to work.

The WNBA Can't Let These Two Men In. It Also Can't Explain Why Not. Ep 189
The WNBA may have just walked into one of the most spectacular ideological traps I have ever seen. Caitlin Clark brings unprecedented attention to women's basketball, and somehow she becomes the center of a culture war over race, privilege, and identity. Then her teammate Sophie Cunningham says the obvious thing out loud, and two former male NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, announce they're entering the 2027 draft as transgender women, so the league has to answer the question everybody's been dancing around. Here's my take: sometimes the most merciful thing you can do with a false idea is let it play itself out to its logical conclusion. You can rename reality and rewrite the rulebook, but when the whistle blows, reality gets the final possession, because truth belongs to God. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and let's watch what happens next.

Flock Cameras: Safety or Surveillance State? Ep 188
Right now, cameras you've probably never noticed are tracking where you go, who you see, and when you leave the house. They're called Flock cameras, and the promise is a reasonable one: they help police catch criminals and find missing children. And they do, but there is a far bigger conversation hidden behind that promise. The trouble is that these cameras are not only watching the bad guys. They are watching all of us. So the real question is not whether this technology can do good. It is what happens when we hand that kind of power to the government and simply trust them to use it well. James and I sit down to work through the tension between safety and freedom, and why the true problem was never the camera at all. It is the human heart.

God Designed the Family First. We Keep Treating It Last. Ep 187
A celebrity welcomes her first baby at 50, another at 54, and the message is loud and clear: it's never too late, you can have it all. But the headlines rarely mention the IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy behind those stories. Today I want to talk about God's design for family and why postponing it "until the timing is right" is one of the oldest lies our culture tells young people. Children aren't accessories you add after the career and the bucket list. They're image bearers of God, and His timing has always been wiser than ours.

Taylor Swift Just Made History. Here's Why It Worries Me Ep 186
Taylor Swift just became the youngest person ever inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and honestly, it's a remarkable achievement. But it got me thinking about a warning from Jesus that ought to make all of us tremble: the difference between milestones and millstones. This isn't about pointing fingers at Taylor. It's about praying for her, and asking what God has entrusted to you and me. Grab your Bible and let's get into it.

Honor vs. Respect: What the Bible Actually Says Ep 185
What is respect, really? Something we deserve, something we can demand, or something we have to earn? James brought this one to the table, and it became one of my favorite talks we have had in a while. The old Hebrew unlocked it for me. Honor is something we are called to give every person because they bear God's image. Respect, the kind that means admiration for character, is earned. So how do you honor a parent, a boss, or a judge you disagree with and still hold healthy boundaries? We dig into the story of Job, Paul's charge to young Timothy, and how Jesus himself never demanded the respect he was owed. Got questions? Drop them in the comments, and we will read them on a Monday episode.

Nolan Didn't Tell Homer's Story. Here's What Hollywood Erased Ep 184
I just took my kids to see Christopher Nolan's Odyssey in IMAX, and it might be one of the biggest movies of the year and one of the biggest storytelling blunders of his career. Nolan didn't tell Homer's story. He stripped out the magic, swapped the heroes, and turned a tale about love and honor into one about guilt and shame. So this week I break down what he got wrong, and why I actually believe in gods, monsters, and an enchanted world, just not the way you'd expect. Because deep down, every one of us is on an epic journey home, and the Bible tells that story better than any movie ever could.

Should Christians Eat Meat? Genesis, Jesus, and Your Dinner Plate Ep 183
Should Christians eat meat, or go back to the Garden of Eden? Food has become a religion. Eat carnivore, you're wrecking your arteries. Go vegan, you're wrecking your hormones. So this week I ask a better question: was Eden's plant-based menu God's permanent plan, or just the start of the story? I dig into Genesis, Jesus, and Paul to show why the real question was never plant or animal.

The Bible calls love a verb, not a feeling. Here's why that changes everything. Ep 182
We say "I love you" all the time, to friends, to family, to the people closest to us. But what do we actually mean when we say it? In this episode, James and I dig into one of the biggest, most-used, and most-misunderstood words there is. Is love a feeling you fall into and fall out of, or is it a choice you make even when you don't feel like it? We get into why the Bible calls love a verb instead of a feeling, and why staying quiet while someone you care about walks toward destruction isn't kindness, it's toxic empathy. In the end, it all comes back to the cross. Editing and production services provided by thepodcastupload.com Interested in sponsoring The Kirk Cameron Show?

Fauci's Diary Exposed the Man Behind the Curtain Ep 181
Doctor Fauci was once treated like the very face of science, untouchable. Now his own diary notes are out, and I can't help but think of the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.
